I developed a passion for helping couples when my husband and I became presenters in a weekend premarital education workshop called Basics4Marriage in 2009. I specialize in helping couples who have high-stress jobs, chronic health issues, or individual histories of trauma using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Since then, I have earned Advanced status in EFT and am pursuing Certification.

In addition to working with couples, I also work with creative and artistic individuals. My background as a semi-professional opera singer gives me enormous compassion for the unique struggles faced by artists. I know first-hand how performance, critique and showings can trigger extreme vulnerability, stuck places, and poor habits. As a result, I help artists reignite their passion, overcome performance issues, and work through creative blocks as well as addressing procrastination, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and addiction.

I earned my Masters and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the American School for Professional Psychology at Argosy University. I also have a Masters of Music in Vocal Performance from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX; and a Bachelors of Music in Vocal Performance from University of the Pacific in Stockton, CA.
